Sagrada Scholarship Bible Camp 2010 Work Day
 
Saturday, May 15, 2010  &  Saturday, May 22, 2010

Meet at the Church Parking Lot at 7:00 AM 
Bring your own lunch and bring plenty of water. 
 

In the past three years, members of the First Right Last Left (Howard Bullock’s) Sunday school class has organized a work day at Sagrada.  This has been a huge success and continues to grow each year with more and more willing to help.  This year, I have asked Cliff and Susie Johnson that run the camp to dream big.  They didn’t disappoint!  You will see below a list of work items they would like for us to tackle.  Of course, we don’t have to complete all of the items, but the more we do, the more they can touch the lives of underprivileged children.  Please help in any way you can with materials, labor, equipment, or just prayer.   This year, Russ Sharman has informed me that he will have some help from the ROTC cadets from UCM to help us.  That means that we already have 15 or 20 workers ready to go.  If we add that to the list from the last couple of years, we will approach nearly 90 people able to further the Lord’s work at this wonderful Bible camp for kids.  If you have never been, then this your chance to see what kind of difference this camp makes.  Talk to those that have either helped during one of the FBC work days or have actually went to be counselors. 

There will be two work days this year (Saturday, May 15 & Saturday, May 22) to accommodate for many to be involved.  And you can even go to both work days!  Sign ups have started and can be located on the bulletin board by the church offices.  Please refer to the sheet your Sunday School teacher has for the list of work items or see the lists below.  If you have any questions or ideas or any particular special construction skills, then please see Joe Hilty at church, email him at jnthilty@embarqmail.com, or call him on his cell at 660-885-1602.

Here are some pictures of possible projects to work on:

Our specialty, a new bridge leading to a soon to be built shower for counselors.  This will be completed on our work day.  Anyone know how to build a bridge at Sagrada?

 

Cliff has still not finished installing soffits on the maintenance shed.  He would like help on this if possible.  He has all the materials, just needs labor (and ladders) to finish it.

 

Human “Ricochet” game constructed this winter.

   

 

Finish constructing a privacy/safety fence for the new human “Ricochet” game.  Surely we can accomplish this during our work day.  Also would like a few loads of topsoil for this area to expand their garden.

 

This is the spot where Cliff wants to build a 24’ x 20’ girls dorm.  He will dig the hole.  Need someone who is willing to form and pour footings, walls and floor and tie the steel.  Also looking for help to build the structure.  It will be a walk out basement.

 

This is next to where the existing pool is located.  Cliff is going to add a new 4’ deep pool with a filter and slide.  Again, he will dig the hole.  Anyone willing to help form and pour the pool would be appreciated.

Sagrada Scholarship Bible Camp (SSBC) is a nonprofit, non-denominational Bible camp that is free to boys and girls ages 8-11 and returning senior campers. It has been built and maintained through faith and much prayer. A board of directors runs the camp and the founders are Cliff and Susie Johnson. He and his family are full-time missionaries serving the camp since the first camping season in 1997, when they started with 2 teepees and 8 boys. In the Summer of 2008, the camp served 264 children, both boys and girls. Everyone at SSBC is a volunteer. No one receives a salary.
